Integrated 4 pole RCD for 32amp outlet.

[Edders]

Hi all,

I got some great feedback the other day regarding the installation of some TP + N, RCD protected sockets. One of the sockets will be supplying an old forklift charger. I just wondered if I should be installing a type A RCD on this? I can't get any info from manufacturer as its too old and can't find anything on google. Does anyone know if these things are likely to leak any DC current back through the RCD ? Also has anyone got any experience of these? 3 phase 16A, 32A, 63Amp, 5 Pin CEE, RCD Protected Socket.400V-415V distro socket | eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251559291581?ul_noapp=true
I've been quoted £240 per socket from CEF, £180 from TLC and these come out at £44 so massive difference. It says 380v so I'm wondering if these are designed for use on the continent? Thanks in advance.

My main issue with anything eBay is the lack of any real come-back if it proves to be faulty, etc.

For cheapness you could get a outlet without RCD and fit one, such as:

32A 3P+N+E 415V Interlocked Switched Socket with RCD Compartment IP44

Interlocked Switched Socket

63A 4 Pole 30mA Type A RCD

Insulated DIN rail clips

totalling £132 inc VAT. While it is not going to be top-end stuff, at least there is some backing behind it!

Only buy from businesses and ask for an invoice.

Thanks for your reply, yes I tend to agree with you on that, thanks for that, added bonus its a type A rcd as well.

I think they are a business. They sell caravan hook ups and the like. Tried to call them, no answer. I just read somewhere that 380v equipment isn't always rated to above 415v -418v
